Dynamic Harbor Scene

Harbor pier right after a coastal squall, heavy yellow bollard and thick mooring lines in the foreground on rain-wet concrete, sun beam from a cloud gap lighting water beads on the metal; behind, container stacks and working gantry cranes along the terminal edge; puddle near the bollard reflecting part of the crane structure and sky; faint spray blowing in from the basin. 24 mm, f/7.1, ISO 100, 1/250 s; circular polarizer used to control reflections on wet metal and nearby puddles — do not over-rotate. Negative: gray haze left uncorrected, over-clarity on ropes, halo edges around structures, metallic color shifts.
